Thanks for the info. I don't know what he'll find to complain about now.
those 25000 GM workers who lose their auto jobs, they are going to be able to find other jobs at the same pay level. right? how about half their current pay level? or are they going to end up at walmart. and all those north carolina furniture workers going out, they are too, right? or are they going to end up at home depot.
the US used to be a place where even a high school graduate could get a job, skilled or semi-skilled, and afford the basics of a middle class life - including a wife who did not have to work, and children.
today, we have college graduates living with their parents into their 30s. and its not anecdotal, its becoming endemic.
believe what you want from the BLS, I know what I see.
